I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex755 system that comes with an
DELLE207WFP widescreen monitor. I believe that the graphics chip is an
integrated Q35 chipset.
I installed both XP and ScientificLinux 5 (based on RHEL5) on the machine. With XP, I could get the system to display at the monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) using the drivers supplied by Dell.
However, I am having much trouble getting the same resolution on the
Linux setup. I hope that somebody can help can help.
I have tried 915resolution (ver 0.5.2-2.el5.rf) which was unable to
determine the chipset type although it detected an Intel chipset.
I downloaded the integrated intel graphics driver (
www.intel.com/go/iegd) for the Q35 chipset
and tried to install the driver. But have had no success. I followed the instructions provided by Intel and at the very last instruction,
# modprobe iegd_mod I get an error.
I am very much new to linux. I have search on many, many forums and homepages looking for a solution but to no avail. I hope that somebody can help me.
